I wonder if Brazil's fans sing "It's just like watching the Gas!"? 🤔

South Korea score a scorcher!
What a consolidation!? 4-1 down and that was one dog gone of a strike ...

Anyone else boycotting anything French until Saturday? Thinking of running a picket line near the baguettes in Tesco later.

Really looking forward to seeing the last of the 16 matches, and our potential opponents later on if we can get past Jean Paul Escargot...
Morocco v Spain. Portugal v Swiss.
I sniff an upset, Swiss aren't a bad team, Porty boys only seem to rely on 1 or 2 players... I think both matches are making for a well matched interesting encounters.

Re the dancing, no problem with that, but the length of goal celebrations is getting a bit daft. Needs to be a little restricted. Probably 10 minutes "lost" to goal celebrations in the Brazil game. Should be a 30 second restart rule. Tough if they arent ready!

Should be a 30 second restart rule. Tough if they arent ready! I've also noticed that the extreme time added on has calmed down a bit now. Think for England's first game there were 14 minutes added for the first half and 10 for the second! Think there was only 4 at the end of the Senegal game and many other games are now seeing the more regular time added on.

Can we put in a cheeky bid for that 974 Stadium which is being demolished to be rebuilt 'somewhere else in the world'?

So it would appear Wael was not in Qatar to do a deal for a stadium flat pack.

There you go... Resolute defending there, and no way through for Spain in 90 mins.
It's either gonna be a tajine or tapas day, would never be surprised to see penalties to decide this!?
Btw....are Marocco sponsored by Shrewsbury?

Btw....are Marocco sponsored by Shrewsbury? Morocco got it tactically spot on. Kept their shape and discipline, defended in numbers and looked to counter when possible with the two excellent full backs and Ziyech. Unlikely to beat Spain at their game, so important to stay in the game, take a chance if it arrives or take them all the way. Done it superbly so far.

Can't see anything in this Spanish side to worry about. All tippy tappy with no end product. Iniesta and Xavi could both get in this team at 40+.

As th tourney goes on th class players are growing in to it, Spain lack a true worldly player, meanwhile th likes of Messi, Mbappe, Neymar Junior are showing why they have such an elevated status in football, let’s hope Kane can do similar in th latter stages.
Btw, superb tournament so far an some real young talents ta look forward to enjoying over th next decade 👍🏼
